I am working WP7 and I wanted to add 5 buttons into the ApplicationBar but it say too many list into the applicationbar so is there any workaround for that so that I can go ahead.!
Note :
I dont want to add the applicationmenubar item.
Thank you..
Have you thought about making some of the less common buttons menu items? Like so:
<shell:ApplicationBar.MenuItems>
<shell:ApplicationBarMenuItem Text="my menu item" Click="beginAllocateVotes"/>
</shell:ApplicationBar.MenuItems>
5 app bar buttons may look a bit crowded.

I'm looking to create an effect similar to how to CommandBar looks in the default Photos application.
I can get the bar to show easily enough but I'm struggling with three things:
Making the labels of the buttons appear to the right and now below.
Making the more button at the end show a dropdown and not expand / collapse the CommandBar itself.
Trying to find out the height of the CommandBar so I can use Margin to set things below it.
Thanks in advance!
I'm starting a new universal windows app project. Normally I do web developer but have been asked to do a Universal Windows Application.
I'm starting to get somewhere now and have been using MVVM Light and have a couple of views set up.
Anyway here is my question, is there a way for me to have a "Layout" page, similar to what I would have it ASP.NET MVC?
For example, I have the main xaml page in my app, and the root control in that page is a SplitView. I have it so that when I click a button in the split view pane it takes me to the correct xaml view for that button. The thing is this page doesn't have the split view so I no longer have any navigation.
Surely I don't need to duplicate my menu across every view? I assume I'm missing something blindingly obvious.
Thanks,
The Splitview works this way that the page containing the split view will always be active (I normally call this page shell.xaml)
In here you can place your hamburger menu and add other things that should be visible all the time. Then you create a frame inside the splitview where your child pages live. handling navigation should only navigate using this frame and not the main page.
Here is a working sample that might explain this better:
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Sample-splitview-with-edcc2ca9
I think you need something like this.
You have to navigate your pages just to frame in SplitView content, not to default application's frame.
<SplitView>
<SplitView.Pane>
Your menu
</SplitView.Pane>
<SplitView.Content>
<Frame Name="ContentFrame" />
</SplitView.Content>
</SplitView>
And than in code-behind set the page you want like default
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
ContentFrame.Navigate(typeof(Homepage));
}
I'm developing a small Universal App under Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2015 and one of the first things I need to do is add an AppBar in my XAML code to display the standard bar with button at the top of the screen. But for some reason, when I write the following code, I get an ellipse (3 points) at the right and when I click it, immediately to the left of it, there's a black box that I want to get rid of. All I want is to add buttons to it.
Here is my code:
Here is what the output shows:
There's nothing in the code that displays this black area that overlays my buttons when I click the ellipse. Where is this coming from and how do I get rid of it?
Adding on to Justin XL's excellent response, to hide the ellipse in my BottomAppBar, I had to go to App.xaml. Near the bottom of the newly created AppBar style, set the ExpandButton visibility to collapsed:
<Button x:Name="ExpandButton" ... Visibility="Collapsed" .../>
i want to show progress indicator in my windows phone app when System.Tray is not visible (my app is full screen). is there a simple way to show the progress indicator?
Why don't you use ProgresBar control which gives you the same result when you put it on the top of your layout? It's easy to use and looks exactly the same.
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<!-- Your controls are here -->
<ProgressBar x:Name="MyProgressBar"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
IsIndeterminate="True" />
</Grid>
That is the benefit of showing SystemTray - you can use it for status messages and progress. If you choose not to use SystemTray, you have to add ProgressBar to the xaml of your Pages.
I need to create a group of 5 buttons. Only one can be pressed, like Radio Button, but I do not want to show the circle. I would like to use the button look.
Somebody do know which is the best way to do it?
I have found for WPF:
<RadioButton Style="{StaticResource {x:Type ToggleButton}}" />
but it does not work for Windows 8.
Thank you
Is this a group of actual buttons with an action assigned to the click event of each, or are you just trying to remove the circle form a RadioButton type control?
Please note that the user will likely expect a RadioButton control to look and feel like a RadioButton. Changing this just for the sake of it may not be a good idea, but if you want to go ahead with it you could try one of the following options.
1) Edit the template for a radiobutton control to hide the selcetion circle. (I don't know if that's even possible in all honesty, but in theory, it should be)
or
2) Emulate the behaviour with a ListView with SelctionMode set to "Single"
Things get a little more complicated if you want to handle click events on each "button", but it is not impossible. In your ItemTemplate, add a button (presumable with a style of "TextButtonStyle") and set the event handler of the Click event to check which button was pressed and act accordingly.
There is a control called ToggleButton, why don't you use that?
